Discover the Hidden Gems of Slovenia by Bike

The cycling routes wind through the lush green forests of the Dinaric Karst, passing under towering peaks, romantic castles, and mysterious underground caves.

Hikers and cyclists alike are drawn to the towering peaks of Mount Snežnik (1796 m) and Mount Nanos (1313 m). From these summits, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. Mount Snežnik, Slovenia’s tallest non-Alpine peak, is also a Botanical Reserve. The enchanting natural environment of the Green Karst is crisscrossed with trails of varying difficulty, many of which are accessible by bike.

Karst poljes, with their serene lakes, historic castles, and rustic inns, provide excellent routes for medium and advanced cycling tours. This picturesque region offers endless opportunities for active holidays.

The mysterious forests of the Mašun Plateau are an off-road cyclist’s dream, with well-maintained trails shaded by ancient trees. The longest cycling route through Mašun winds across the plateau, perfect for moderately experienced riders.
